Author: corisande1 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.ireland.lex.general/2668/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Mary HOLMES was my g-g-grandmother and she married George BLONG in or near PORTARLINGTON, LAOIS in Ireland around 1825 to 1835 She died in 1877 aged 82, implying a birth date of 1795. As far as I am aware she lived her life in Portarlington. Her married name of "BLONG" was later written as "BLANC" and appears to have had a number of spellings. Anyone help me with more information on MARY HOLMES? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
